My name is Regan Singer. You may know me as Shade's mother who is a Death Eater. You may also know me as the crazy woman who possessed her own daughter and made her kill someone. Both, are true. But before you judge, you should know why I ended up the way I was.
Okay, before we start, you need to know my appearance. I have unusually dark blue hair with pale skin and blood red eyes.
But I wasn't always like this. When I was a young girl, I had beautiful brown hair and brilliant blue eyes. My mom wasn't very happy with my look.
"You look way too much like your secret father." She mutters everyday when doing my hair. "People are going to suspect things. I don't know how much longer I can keep the secret much longer after you go to Hogwarts."
My mother and father didn't have the same relationship as most married couples do. My mother, Evelyn Singer, is a cruel person. She curses people in the halls for fun, and can insult anyone to tears. It came to my surprise as she told me about my father.
Reynold Lightbeam was a kind man who can crack up a joke anytime. To everyone's surprise, he was placed into Slytherin. Everyone suspects it was because his parents were in Slytherin, so he only chose Slytherin to keep his family's legacy. But no one knows the truth of why he chose Slytherin over Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.
"I wanted to be with this beautiful lonely looking young girl." He used to say this to me.
"She caught my eye on the platform and one look at her, I knew she was the one. She had beautiful black hair and stormy red eyes." He always pauses here, drifting off to a dreamy expression.
"She just stands by herself, isolating herself from the others. From that day on, I made the decision to be with her for the rest of my life. That's why I chose Slytherin. We kept a steady friendship throughout most of the years. Then came fifth year." His eyes clouds with sorrow as he remembers this terrible night.
"We were walking in the Forbidden Forest one evening. It was dark and spooky. We wanted to go back, but couldn't find our way back to the castle. I didn't know how deep into the forest we were, but suddenly, we were stopped by a vampire. The vampire lunged at me, but Evelyn got in the way. That night, was the worst night for me and Evelyn. My precious Evelyn whom I loved, became a vampire." He shudders, face paling as if living the night all over again.
"Her entire appearance and personality changed. Her black hair turned blue, fangs sprouted from her mouth. She became vile and cruel. She and I remained a steady relationship, but I knew deep down this wasn't the Evelyn I knew. To no one's surprise, we got married. We had two kids, baby girls, both of them. One of them was you. The other girl, Samantha, died. Evelyn became harsh towards me afterward. She wanted nothing to do with me. It's a surprise she didn't divorce me." Usually, after that, Evelyn would call me to bed, as the story ends.
My mother wanted to pass her vampire inheritance to me, but Reynold didn't want to, so she divorced him not long after. I lost touch with him after that, I don't even know if he was still alive. But then, my mother told me something that got me shocked. Reynold Lightbeam, was not my father. My father, is a wizard she wanted to keep secret from me.
Then came the day I got my Hogwarts letter.
I was surprised when I was sorted into Slytherin since I was a shy, soft-spoken young girl, much like my mother when she was younger. I befriended Nicholas Potter, the less famous brother of James Potter, the famous marauder. I became friends with Regulus Black when he came to Hogwarts next year. Our little group was always the main victims of the Marauders.
But, what they didn't know, was that I, fight back. I played this prank on Sirius that bruised his reputation greatly. I thought that Regulus would be happy because he finally had a chance to outshine his brother. But instead, Regulus hated me from that day on. He left our group and joined the other Slytherin in making fun of people every day.
The rest of the years up to fifth year was pretty uneventful. But then came the day of my fifteenth birthday, the night of my inheritance. When I felt it kicking in, I ran off into the Forbidden Forest. It was the most painful moment of my life. I felt like my insides were on fire, my eyes felt as if they were on fire as they turned red. My hair became long and blue. I tried to stifle my screams as my fangs grew. When the entire ritual was finished, I was reduced down to a shivering figure huddled on the ground.
I walked into Hogwarts the next day, scared of what everyone would think. It was as bad as I thought, and when I walked into the Great Hall that day, whispers arose.
"It really is no surprise, after all, Evelyn Singer was also a vampire."
"Do you really think..."
"No. Regan is NOTHING like Evelyn." Nicholas had stood up for me, much for Jame's disappointment.
"How do you know?"
"You've only known her for five years."
"You're just saying that because she is your best friend."
I spun around and met face to face with the speaker, Sirius Black.
"Sectumsempra." A voice spoke in my mind.
"SECTUMSEMPRA!"
The entire Great Hall had frozen when I screamed out the curse.
"PORTEGO MAXIMA!" Sirius bellowed, shocked.
"Avada Kedavra." The voice whispered again.
I was confused. That was the killing curse. But before I could protest, I felt myself speaking unwillingly.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
My curse shot past Sirius who ducked, eyes wild.
The Great Hall was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
"You can never avoid me, Regan Singer." I heard the voice again before I blacked out.
All those years later, I became powerful. More powerful than before. Nicholas became a Death Eater. I also became one. But, Dumbledore wanted everyone to forget me. Forget I even existed. He casted a obliviate charm so strong, the entire world forgot me. I willingly left the Death Eaters and resided in this secret hideout.
It was then, I had my first daughter. I was proud, since now I can continue the vampire generation. But little did I know, Nicholas Potter had performed a sacred ritual that nearly killed him, so Shade won't go through her inheritance. I sent Shade to Nicholas, since I knew very well that Shade won't survive with me.
My next plan is to corrupt Shade into the monster I became. I just hope my plan would work. Once I possess her, I have absolute power over her. I can make her do stuff and she has to do it. The trance could only be broken once she finds her true love, like when I married Nicholas, the power my mom had over me faded.
I smirked over the image of that blond boy kissing her that Halloween. I bet that boy only like her because she seemed perfect. Well, Shade isn't. I took over her body to let her do all that hero stuff. It was all my work. Without me, Shade is nothing. Little did I know, that blond boy may not be the only one to love Shade.
